Ensuring Accurate LinkedIn URLs: Best Strategies and Approaches

·

I haven't found a reasonable database that correctly finds a matching linkedin URL. Has anyone figured out a way to ensure the Linkedin URL is correct. Like a waterfall scenario. Or can one search for the correct URL by using both Name and Company Name?

Yes, you can improve the accuracy of finding LinkedIn URLs using multiple approaches: 1. Start with basic information: • Combine first and last name into a full name • Use the old email address if available 2. Add company information to improve match rates: • Extract the company domain from the email address • Use the domain to find the associated company name • Include both full name and company name in your search 3. Use Google Search enrichment: • Create a search query combining the person's name and company name (e.g., "Eric Engoron clay.com") • You can even use Google search operators like 'intitle:' to refine results • Format example: "[Name] [Company] intitle:[Job Title]"For best results, test your approach on a small sample of 5-10 rows first to gauge accuracy before applying it to a larger dataset.
